Visitation Rights: Legal Protection of the Parent-Child Bond
Family breakdown should not mean the end of a relationship with a child. Georgian legislation explicitly recognizes that regardless of divorce or living separately, both parents have equal rights and obligations to participate in their child's upbringing. Visitation Rights represent a legal mechanism regulating contact between the child and the parent (or other family members, such as grandparents) with whom the child does not permanently reside. This process is often emotionally difficult and becomes a subject of conflict between parties, making a clear legal framework and the involvement of a qualified lawyer essential.
Often, post-divorce disputes revolve precisely around the child visitation schedule. One party may feel the other parent exerts undue influence on the child, or conversely, the other party feels artificially restricted from contacting their child. In such times, the court and social services intervene to establish a regime that primarily serves the best interests of the child.
